Several settings can only be changed via PowerShell.One of this in Office 365 Unified Groups is the SMTP Primary Address.First you run PowerShell in Admin Mode and login to Exchange Online:Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

As usual, the way
how you can modify more parameter is strictly by using PowerShell. I need stepping into one PowerShell scripting to
present the outbound calling ID
overwrite.

For
example, if a Call Queue represents a Support Team, you want that each
dedicated person in this team to not expose their DID. You need to configure a
Distribution Group for those team members used in the Call Queue.

Next step
is creating a “Calling
Line Identity” policy,
where you enable the User Overwrite. The Service Numberyou are
defining should be this you have assigned to the Call Queue! The Calling ID Substitute should be the name of the team.

i have listed the updates and improvements made with Cloud connector Edition Version 2.0

The both first improvements are the most interesting ones.

The CCE installation now supports more Cloud PBX User and a much higher call volume.

With a support of 500 concurrent SIP Call per CCE, it was in the past possible to run with 4x CCE 1.500 simultaneous calls, while 1 CCE was reserved for High Availability.The ratio of 1:10 meaning, we had support for up to 15.000 Cloud PBX User pre CCE Site.

Now with the improvement for up to 16 Node:

we can have up to 7.500 simultaneous calls, this is Large Enterprise ready!

Working with PSTN Conferencing in your Office 365 Skype for Business Online Tenant.ID PSTN -> SfBOnlUsr callStart and instant (Impromptu) Meeting or schedule a Online Meeting as usual from Outlook or your Client App. After the meeting is escalate into ConfCall, the MCU SfB OnLine Server will send reinvite to MediationServerHybrid. This is illustrated in the drawings below.First we have a look into the outbound call to a PSTN user:

Next, we have a look into the inbound call from a PSTN user:

Configure online hybrid Mediation Server Settings

The setup process is curial and needs to be follow as below:

When a P2P call is escalated to a PSTN conference, the Skype for Business Online conferencing server will send an invite to the Cloud Connector Mediation Server. To ensure that Office 365 can route this invite successfully, you need to configure a setting in your online tenant for each Cloud Connector Mediation Server as follows:

1. Create a user in the Office 365 admin portal. Use any user name you want, such as “MediationServer1.”
Use the default SIP domain of Cloud Connector (the first SIP domain in the .ini file) as the user domain.
Do not assign any Office 365 licenses (such as E5) to the account you create. Wait for Office 365 AD sync to complete.2. Start a tenant remote PowerShell session using your tenant admin credentials, and then run the following cmdlet to set the Mediation Server and Edge Server FQDN to that user account, replacing <DisplayName> with the Display Name of the user for the account you created:

3. For Identity, use the Display Name of the Office 365 user account you created for this Mediation Server.

For MediationServerFQDN, use the internal FQDN defined for your Mediation Server.
For EdgeServerExternalFQDN, use the external FQDN defined for Edge Server Access Proxy. If there are multiple Cloud Connector PSTN sites, choose the Edge Server Access Proxy FQDN assigned to the site where the Mediation Server is located.4. If there are multiple Cloud Connector Mediation Servers (multiple-site, HA), please repeat the previous steps for each of them.Note:https://technet.microsoft.com/EN-US/library/mt740651.aspx

Further conference expansion with Dial-In and Dial-Out from/to PSTN:

If another User should be called into the conference the Microsoft Office 365 PSTN Conferencing Bridge breakout is used.NOTE:Dial-Out will be charged within your Office 365 Subscription.If you have PSTN Calling activated, the outbound call with be deducted from your PSTN Calling minutes, or individually charged based on the Microsoft Destination minute pricings.Other Users calling into the conference with PSTN, use the Dial-In Bridge in Office 365 Skype for Business.
